How to Stop Resentment from Blocking Your Joy in Stay-at-Home Motherhood? The first step is to acknowledge that the resentment comes not from what the other person is doing to you or the circumstance you find yourself in, but rather from your relationship with that person or situation.
A big part of perfectionism usually comes from comparing ourselves to others, so it’s always useful to ask yourself what exactly you’re assuming about those other moms you see - both in real life and online - and what you’re believing about their lives.
Do you feel overwhelmed as a stay-at-home mom? Are you exhausted by the relentless demands of motherhood? Do you feel isolated and alone, and more than a little resentful that your partner gets to come and go as he pleases while you’re stuck at home? Do you see your life as repetitive and mundane, y

Do you feel isolated and alone, and more than a little resentful that your partner gets to come and go as he pleases while you’re stuck at home? Do you see your life as repetitive and mundane, y
The answer is simple: Spending your time on the things you want to be spending your time on. When you take the time to establish your priorities as a stay-at-home mom and cut out the things that aren’t important in your life, you quickly find that you have more time than you ever did because you’re

If you’re feeling lost right now, please know that you’ve already set yourself on your journey back to you, just by noticing that you feel this way. This journey is about first letting go of your commitment to being “happy, pretty, busy” to keep other people content and then giving your true essence

If the early days of motherhood felt like plunging headfirst into survival mode as you learned to breastfeed and pump and bottle feed and clean and sterilize at all hours of the day and night, when do you think you came out of it?

How often do you celebrate yourself? The answer is probably that it never even crosses your mind! You spend plenty of time thinking about all the tasks you still haven’t managed to cross off your to-do list (and how on earth you’ll get it all done tomorrow), yet never take a moment to cel

[Werbung] Herzlich Willkommen zu einem neuen Blog Hop des Stampin'UP! Artisan Design Team 2020. Der Herbst/Winter Minikatalog ist endlich da und wir präsentieren euch heute unsere kreativen Beispiele zu zwei ausgewählten Produktpaketen. Bei mir findet ihr drei tolle Projekte, die ich mit dem Produktpaket PEACE & JOY 155167 gestaltet habe... Welcome to a new blog hop of Stampin'UP! Artisan Design Team 2020. The autumn/winter mini-catalogue is finally here and today we present our creative examples of two selected product packages. I present you three great projects, which I designed only with the PEACE & JOY bundle Mein erstes Projekt ist diese klassische Weihnachtskarte. Den Hintergrund auf SEIDENGLANZ FK 121717 in hellem AQUAMARIN 147107 habe ich mit der gepunkteten DEKOSCHABLONE MUSTERBASICS 150697 und einem WASSERTANKPINSEL 151298 (breite Spitze) kreiert. Mit Hilfe der Blätter - gestempelt in FARNGRÜN 147104, OLIVGRÜN 147090 & GARTENGRÜN 147089 - habe ich dann einen Kranz gelegt und mit dem Wort "Joy" (gestempelt in PFAUENGRÜN 150083) versehen. Als Akzente bei den Zweigen habe ich mich für die ALLERLEI PAILLETTEN 153556 entschieden. Im Kranz selbst für die FACETTIERTEN GLITZERSTEINE ECHTE ELEGANZ 152464 und das DEKOBAND IM KOMBIPACK Flüsterweiß 153620. Für das Grundgerüst meiner Karte habe ich FK FLÜSTERWEIß EXTRASTARK 140490 und FK AQUAMARIN 124391 verwendet. My first project is this classic Christmas card. The background on SHIMMERY WHITE CARDSTOCK 121717 in smooth POOL PARTY 147107, was created with the dotted BASIC PATTERN DECORATIVE MASKS 150697 and a WATER PAINTER 151298 (wide tip). With the help of the leaves - stamped in PEAR PIZZAZZ 147104, OLD OLIVE 147090 & GARDEN GREEN 147089 - I laid a wreath and provided it with the word "Joy" (stamped in PRETTY PEACOCK 150083). As accents I chose the SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING 153556. I also used (in the wreath) the ELEGANT FACETED GEMS 152464 and the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO PACK (Whisper White) 153620. For the basic card I used WHISPER WHITE THICK CARDSTOCK 140490 and CARDSTOCK POOL PARTY 124391. Bei meiner zweiten Karte, ganz im Zeichen von simple-stamping, stehen die Worte Peace & Joy im Vordergrund (das Wort "Joy" wurde hier übrigens mit der Schere ausgeschnitten) Gestempelt habe ich das Wort jeweils immer 2x - einmal hell und einmal dunkel. Auch hier wurden die gleichen Farben verwendet wie bei der ersten Karte. Die Blumen, gemacht mit der Handstanze KLEINE BLUME 152316 habe ich in Flamingorot (Farbkarton 141421 & Stempelfarbe 147052) gehalten. Verwendete Akzente: LEINENFADEN 104199, EPOXID AKZENTE 153645, ACCESSOIRES HERRLICH FESTLICH 153540. On my second card, in the sign of simple-stamping, the words Peace & Joy are in focus (the word "Joy" was cut out here with a scissor) I stamped the words always twice - once light and once dark. I used the same colors as in the first card. The flowers, made with the SMALL BLOOM punch 152316, are kept in FLIRTY FLAMINGO (cardstock 141421 & ink 147052). Accents used: LINEN THREAD 104199, EPOXY DROPS 153645, ALL THE TRIMMINGS EMBELLISHMENT 153540. Mein letztes Projekt sind diese beiden Geschenkanhänger. Das tolle an diesem Produktpaket ist, dass man es auch für andere Anlässe nutzen kann. Im Vordergrund stehen hier die tollen Stanzformen Joy 153530. Mit Hilfe dieser Stanzformen lassen sich die einzelnen Worte unglaublich gut in Szene setzen. Damit man die Stanzformen auch für Anlässe wie Geburtstage usw. nutzen kann, habe ich aus gestempelten Wortresten (des dazu passenden Stempelsets) zwei völlig neue Worte bzw. Wortspiele kreiert. Das Muster der Blumen ist übrigens ganz einfach mit Hilfe eines Stempelkissens und der Musterschablone (Punkte) nachzubasteln: die Schablone auf den Farbkarton legen und das Kissen direkt auf die Schablone pressen. Bei den anderen Blumen habe ich wieder mit dem Wassertankpinsel und der Stempelfarbe, direkt aus dem Deckel des Kissens, gearbeitet. Weiter verwendete Produkte: Embossingpulver WEIß 109132, Farbkarton Farngrün 131290, Farbkarton Pfauengrün 150886, Stanzformen LAGENWEISE KREISE 151770, Farbkarton MATT METALLIC 153524 My last project are these two gift tags. The great thing about this bundle is, that you can use it also for other occasions. With the help of these dies, the individual words can be staged incredibly well. I created two completely new words with cut out rests from stamped words (from the matching stamp set). By the way, the pattern of the flowers is quite easy to recreate with the help of an ink pad and the BASIC PATTERN DECORATIVE MASKS 150697 (dots): place the mask on a peace of cardstock and press the ink pad directly onto the mask. Further products used: EMBOSS POWDER WHITE 109132, CARDSTOCK PEAR PIZZAZZ 131290, CARDSTOCK PRETTY PEACOCK 150886, dies LAYERING CIRCLES 151770, BRUSHED METALLIC CARDSTOCK 153524 Ich hoffe euch haben meine Ideen zu diesem besonders tollen Produktpaket gefallen. Weiter geht es hier nun bei der unglaublich talentierten Rochelle I hope you liked my ideas about this awesome bundle. Now it goes on with the incredibly talented Rochelle: Blog Roll Artisan Design Team 2020 Caroline van der Straaten Emma Goddard Helene den Breejen Jan Clothier Lauren Alarid Leah Fedynak Manuela Geiswinkler Marine Wiplier Martha Groeger Martin Stone Narelle Farrugia Nina Waldschmidt - you are here Rochelle Blok Stesha Bloodhart Tammy Wilson Zsuzsanna Balazs
"Create your own joy." Because happiness isn't given; it's earned. A Monday Mantra on mom shaming, the Christmas season, and Albus Dumbledore. It's time to create your own joy...
Are you weary? God's mercies are new every morning. God is ready and able to equip us to respond to whatever comes our way today. Joy comes in the morning.
You might feel at risk of losing yourself easily if your spine is collapsed because a solid sense of who you are is related to an aligned spine and active core….When your spine remains chronically slumped, your feelings about yourself can be impacted - you might lose confidence, avoid putting yourse
How do you reconnect with Jesus in the middle of a chaotic day? Is it possible to refill our cups with joy so that we have enough to pour out?
